It seems to work very well, i can feel an increase in energy. Also i feel like im a little happier and in a better mood more often since taking it. Anyone else had similiar results taking a flax or fish oil supplement ? http://www.mytopform.com/essential-fatty-acids.html I have been using a vitamin supplement from Top Form Nutrition that contains Borage Seed oil, Flax Seed oil and Fish oil.

Studies show sometimes as little as 7% but you need to break that down. A dose of flax oil is 1 tbs (14,000 mg) That yields 7,700mg of ALA. 7% of 7,700 = 539mg of EPA and 385mg of DHA. A dose of fish oil yields 360mg of EPA and 240mg of DHA. Studies also show that in a healthy person as much as 15-20% converts. ALA has a lot of other healthy benefits too. It's helpful to get the facts straight. Actually, you are right about a small percentage of ALA converts to EPA and DHA. Studies show sometimes as little as 7% but you need to break that down.
